Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort

Advantages:1. The personnel all were very friendly from the lobby till the cleaning lady trying to solve all your problems 2. Minimalistic architecture give the space to breath very beautiful decorations Disadvantages: 1. Please don’t go to the restaurants of this hotel overpriced and the food sucks for two person 200 euros for a food that cost less than 20. 2. Rooms we’re comfortable but overpriced for the things that offered.

One of the best hotels on Crete with tasty food, friendly staff and beautiful facilities. Also there are some nice shops and car rent inside the hotel, which is very convenient. We especially liked sports and fitness activities. Big shout-out to Kostas and Stas, who were perfect company during our stay!

The Amirandes is a one and only hotel. We felt to be in another world. The rooms, the buildings, the whole infrastructure is lavishly spacious, inspired by the tradition of Greece. The friendly staff is service oriented and highly motivated. The food is varied and of high quality. The Hotel offers entertainment like live music and sports as aquafit, basket ball or table tennis - my personal favourite. And not to forget, beyond the pool you enjoy a direct access to the beach.

Incredible experience, incredible Hotel! Had the most incredible stay. Costas the sports rep was fantastic as well helped me Get booked on to all Sports I wanted to partake in as well! Room was amazing cleaned on a regular basis! Fantastic place to stay would Highly Recommend

This is a stunning resort, and the service of the staff is exceptional. They cater to your every needs. The facilities are great, just bear in mind that it costs extra to use their sports courts. We ate at two restaurants, Lago di Candia and Xasteria, both of which were excellent. I wouldn’t recommend eating dinner at the main food hall. The sports instructors, Kostas and Stas, were terrific, as was the yoga instructor.

Really top hotel with super high Services thanks to very attentioned, friendly and professional people which main preoccupation is to meet customer’s satisfation. A very very special mention to Mr Costas (Sports Manager) and his Team for their availability, proposing various activities in a very nice Environment. High appreciated your sincerly human relationships. Top guy. Next time I will win against you at padel …🤣🤣🤣Franck

We love Greece and have been many times, Crete being the latest visit this July for our summer holidays. We choose Amirandes Resort based on reviews and photos. Not sure where to start with this one, but firstly the two week holiday cost us just under £14’000 which included easy jet flights. So I’ll leave it to your imagination how much of the £14k were flight costs! Hotel package was sold to us as all inclusive and al la carte but turned out to be comfort package, which was buffet, al la carte was extra which we decided not to venture our taste buds with as still feeling bitter with the other experience. The public areas of hotel were very nice and as per the photos. Not really many photos of the rooms on internet. Only photos are what the hotel put up which is far from what you get on check in. We opted for the superior room with pool, all I can say is pure awful. My photos will save me writing 1000s of words in my rant. We feel so let down, the room was tatty, dirty and old. The fixtures and fittings 20 years old and original from when hotel was built. Bathroom was small, dirty and mould on floor and loose fixtures such as shower head. The blinds are not black out and rather filthy. The mini bar warmed the drinks rather than cooled them. Maintenance was carried out on our room a couple of times, not at our request but still had to vacate the room while it was completed. The private pool had a scummy mark around it and pool guy was seen a couple of times spraying some chemical on the mark and scrubbing with a sponge to no avail. The buffet was horrible, little selection and mostly always cold. Toby carvery offers warmer food. We tried one of the 8 restaurants at 7pm one evening and asked if we had a reservation and if not only space was 9.30 pm that evening. So we never went back to any of them. Went to the private hotel beach and found some nice beds, before we had time to sit down we were ushered away and told this area is reserved for the guests staying in the villas and not for us poor people, we could of course have one of the beds for 25 euros for half a day or we could use the straw beds for free. Wasn’t impressed as already spent 14k on the rubbish superior room. Gateless entrance to hotel was manned by a guard everyday, by the end of the holiday this became a game of beating the guard before they had time to get up and out of the security hut. On the two occasions I was stopped, I told the guard I’m staying here for two weeks and I’m not stopping every time I come through these gates to tell you the same thing. The maid would sometimes enter the room to clean without event knocking first. Many times she would rush around the back to the pool and shout CLEAN NOW, CLEAN NOW! She was however lovely and helpful so not knocking her, in fact not knocking any of the hard working staff apart from reception who have it easy. Before, during our stay I had asked for late check out as the flight home was 9.40pm, out of the 5 times asking they r
